Freezing Ice Balloons Science Investigation

With temperatures below freezing, the choice is to stay inside or outside. We did a mix of both with this fun project! We used the freezing temperatures outdoors to freeze some ice balloons and then brought them inside for scientific discovery.

You can do this investigation with kids from preschool through upper elementary. With older kids, you can discuss more of the science, such as why salt lowers the melting point of ice or how cold ice needs to be to freeze solid. But younger kids will just have a blast exploring ice and watching it melt slowly (or quickly if you add it to a cup of warm water).

This is the perfect science investigation for preschoolers and kindergartners. But older kids will have fun with this, too!

Grab a cup of coffee, some of that chocolate you're hiding from the kids, and join me as I learn, experiment, and explore with my kiddos -- and hopefully inspire you a little in your journey alongside smart, quirky, creative kids, too!
